Behind The Gloves has formed an official Advisory Board as it moves from event-led activations to what it describes as a scalable, long-term business and community.

The board includes Michael Brady, Founder and Chairman of Bede Gaming and Chairman of Connexus Group; Rob Fell, CEO of RiskCherry; and Katie Byers, former SVP of People and Capability at Light & Wonder.

According to the organisation, the appointments are intended to support expansion into new verticals including corporate wellness programmes, brand partnerships and future digital products.

Former Kochava, DeNA and EA executive to lead Asia-Pacific commercial growth and regional strategy.

Golden Whale has appointed Jaime Ocampo as Managing Director, Asia, as the company pushes deeper into the Asia-Pacific iGaming market.

Ocampo will lead commercial growth and regional strategy across the region, with a focus on supporting operators adopting “continuously learning models” for decisioning across engagement and incentives, the company said.

He brings more than 20 years of experience across digital technology, gaming and data-driven growth, and has held senior roles at Kochava, DeNA, Funstage GmbH and Electronic Arts.

Eberhard Dürrschmid, CEO at Golden Whale, said: “Asia is a strategically important region for us, with a diverse and fast-moving market. Jaime brings a rare combination of experience across gaming, data and commercial strategy, which aligns closely with how we support operators today. His understanding of both the operational challenges and the underlying data opportunities makes him ideally positioned to lead our expansion in the region.”

Jaime Ocampo, Managing Director, Asia at Golden Whale, added: “The opportunity in Asia is significant, particularly as operators look to move beyond traditional campaign structures and adopt more adaptive, data-driven approaches to player engagement. Golden Whale’s technology is built to support that transition, and I am looking forward to working closely with partners across the region to help unlock new levels of performance and efficiency.”
